Excellent!
If anyone can be trusted to build something strong and durable out of heavy materials it's a Russian (or an Australian Laughing ). I appreciate a job well done. I like the decision to bag it. Much more practical than a normal lowered vehicle.

Thank you!!! It is nice to see someone that knows what they are doing and why they are doing it. It is refreshing to see someone go and get it by the throat, no matter what all the cry babies say!

Hang Loose!

How come you did not do a link pin beam? Or at least a beam raise? The tube spacing and balljoint travel is going to keep the front from being very low. Looks good otherwise
